IGS’s support services do not end with the initial recommendation. Once the design process begins, our product and application specialists provide continuous support from concept to commercial production and throughout the life of the product.
When standard gas springs are not suitable, IGS product specialists will work with you to design custom gas springs to meet specific application requirements. Marine, aerospace, food equipment, pharmaceutical and medical device applications all potentially require gas springs with special seals, pistons , fluids, rod and body materials to meet specific performance requirements.
For 25 years IGS has worked on thousands of applications and many have led to the development of new and application specific designs. The body of knowledge amassed from this effort often allows us to move seamlessly into areas that other gas springs manufacturers either cannot or do not want to pursue.
